It's not like we're all trying to speak up for her, it is just plain blatant that what you've done is uncalled for. I think you're being unfair to her, totally.
And your so-called reasoning doesn't justify anything at all, it actually make things worse.
I quote you; She holds a boom mic and sleeps without knowing it. Okay, you say you're being kind to her by not scolding her. First point first, is there a need to? Just wake her up lah. We all sleep during lessons, do you feel that it's fair if all of us get scolded and embarrassed just for that?
You slept when we're rushing through the night to do animation. We neither wake you up nor blame you. You were behind your laptop doing god-knows-what, but we trusted that you're composing music and contributing to our project.
You might not know what you've done wrong, though it's impossible to do so.
Nevertheless, it's good to thrash things out. I can't help it if you feel offended, but since i'm always playing the role of a bad guy, i don't mind doing it yet again.
-----------------------------------------------------------
So let me start.
You were supposed to model the mouse character. During the first week, while we're still doing our part of the job, you asked us if we wanna see your work cos you've already finished. Yes, i remembered you said except mapping though. We said no, since we're not done with our work yet.
Saturday. You were supposed to send Bryan your file in the morning cos you'll be late, working. He didn't receive your file. Okay, you said you'll send him when you reach your workplace where there is internet connection available. Of course, that's fine with us. We waited but we didn't receive anything at all. After that, you reached Bryan's place and you still don't have the file with you. Why is that so? Then where is the file that you've finished???
So you sat behind your lappy and supposed to be modelling your mouse. Then your macbook hanged. Nevermind, that's alright. Cos you still have desktops at home right?
But we came back to school on Monday, you still don't have your finished product yet. Monday pract, not done yet. Thursday pract, still doing. Friday night, we msned you, you didn't reply us. We smsed you, you didn't reply us either. We're supposed to go to Bryan's place on Saturday, and you're supposed to send him the file in the morning. 8.30am, I was totally baffled by your sms, "my second desktop with 3d max crashed while modelling the complicated parts. will do it when i get home." We said it's okay, send us whatever you have then we'll continue from where you've stopped. No reply from you. Luckily, Joycelyn did us a huge favour by doing it for us, and we're able to finish it by Saturday. You reached Bryan's place after work and continued doing whatever we don't know what you're doing. We spent both weekends to complete the rigging and stuff, by then, i still haven't seen anything from you yet.
Fourth week. We finally started on animation. I remembered we had the scenes divided into four portions so we can all do at the same time and finish it on time. In the end, Bryan finished up all your work becos your macbook died again.
Everynow and then, we got stucked in our animation and panicked like fuck. I've had stomach flu for two weeks and you all have seen me shitting like fuck even at his place. We all have seen Bryan taken his first MC in his one and a half years in SP, and still asked us to go to his house at night so that we won't be late in submitting our work.
Thursday, we stayed over at his place and chiong like fuck. We spent the night cursing and swearing and panicking when we got so helpless. Even by then, the last day, i still don't know what you've done for our animation. Seriously. The sick guy went to sleep at 3.30am (no pun intended). You slept at 4.30am. Melissa and me slept at 5.30am.
I woke up on 9. You're already comfortably sleeping in Bryan's room. We tried to do some work and discussion. I went home at 10.30am, you're still sleeping. I came back at 12, everybody's working again. We finally finished by 2 plus. You're supposed to edit the animation video but your macbook died again. So by the time we saw your finished product, with music, sound effects and stuff, we've got the greatest shock of our lives. So you spent 3, 4 days composing,no i mean, copying and looping 10 seconds of Pink Panther's theme song and searching for sound effects in Sounddogs? Whatever happened to the sounds effect that you're supposed to create on your own?
They were complaining to me on our way back after lunch. Finally, the bad guy (who else???) finally spoke up on behalf of the rest, "i think the music really cannot make it.. can you change?" You said that's the best you can do.
In the end, we had to dub the voices and sound effects ourself.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judging from my super long entry, do you think she deserve that from you? Put yourself in our shoes, do you think we can work with this guy mentioned here? I'm very sorry, but WE don't think so.
Melissa is right. It's better for us to work differently rather than to force ourselves to work together, where later conflicts might occur and hurt our friendship.
You're a good friend, but not a good team member. And this is what we've all agreed on. I hope you'll change for the better. Before you think of shooting off at anyone again, i don't think it's wrong of me to be so painfully honest.
